Aunt Beautiful

...“Start with a smile. At least it makes you better."...

...***...

I looked at my new school nervously. There were a lot of looks directed at me. It's because of the uniform I wear. It's Monday according to the uniform schedule at my new school to be required to wear white gray.

But I didn't. Because of Hana's deliberate carelessness. She spilled milk in my gray-white uniform almost a shirt and skirt filled with that white liquid. And I ended up wearing a uniform at my old school. It's still a good thing I brought it if not somehow.

In every corridor all eyes looked at me in amazement. Come on who doesn't know the uniform alma mater I'm wearing. School of Performing Arts Seoul prestigious art school in Seoul, South Korea. It's still a good thing I was taught to stay cool everywhere. But why being stared at in such a way keeps me nervous.

"Eh? It turns out that there are new students moving from Korea?!"

"Cuyy is crazy!!"

"What if he speaks Indonesian?"

"Lo know the uniform he's wearing? SOPA! Artists school in Korea."

"It's Sehun EXO's school?!"

"Who is really beautiful?"

"The rich must be."

"Hopefully go to my class. Girls in class are all ugly."

"That's the skin."

"Oh so this is said to be a transfer student from Korean. Girls turned out to be."

"She's moving here. I'm actually at SOPA moving on."

"It doesn't cost as much as SOPA can cost."

I snorted as bad as hell. The ninyir generation. Heh did you say you can't pay at SOPA? Ask to be slapped is mouth. Like trying to get something.

I knocked on the door in front of me with the writing of the principal's room. Not long after I heard the word from inside.

"Agatha huh?" Ask a middle-aged man maybe his age is not far with Papa. "You'll be ushered in your Walikelas soon."

I just nodded and smiled.

"Welcome to our school." Miss Kinan-walikelasku. We walked along the corridor. Now the corridor was deserted because the bell had rung five minutes ago. It was rare for my teacher and classroom to go far enough.

"Mom I'm sorry I didn't wear the uniform at this school." I say guilty I'm ready to be punished on my first day.

"You take it easy for the new student it's okay because the uniform is given from the school."

Eh? I'm not scolded? So new students are good too.

"I've heard a lot about you. Hope you are at school here." He continued smiling kindly at me and I returned a bumbling smile.

Mrs Kinan knocked on the door and opened it. The initially crowded class suddenly quieted down. I was told to wait outside first.

"Our children have new students. Come on, please come in."

I walked in standing next to Bu Kinan. All the class residents suddenly broke down. Someone stared in disbelief. Someone is gawking. Some scream hysteria even at the back where the guy was whistling around.

"SILENCE!!"

I was shocked to hear Mrs Kinan screaming. It turns out people are friendly if angry nyeremin yes.

"Let's introduce yourself." Bu Kinan looked at me smiling.

I bowed. "Good morning please introduce my name Agatha. I hope we can be good friends."

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

I was stunned by the many who raised their hands.

"Mom she speaks Indonesian?" Said the girl in the horse pigtails.

"Whoever lived in Indonesia before moving to Korea."

"Not yet to pack this school uniform?"

"He hasn't got a uniform yet."

"Tok can get into an IPA, can't she come from art school?"

"Before entering here he was tested first and his test results led him to this class."

I'm steady, Kinan is amazed. It's true he knows everything about me. All questions were answered calmly by Ms. Kinan.

"Why move?"

"Have you got a girlfriend yet?"

"Minya dong line id."

Feeling her name called Liana holding hands. His name is not foreign. I'm heading for the girl's place. She has beautiful hair on her shoulders in deep black.

"Hi." Sweepings.

I smile.

The break bell rang 5 minutes ago. I don't know what to do. So I chose to stay in class. But 2 minutes later Lia's head appeared on the opened window.

"That!"

I jumped in shock. Almost my phone fell to the floor. I looked at Lia annoyed.

"Sori Tha, to the canteen yuk laper nih." He said while grinning wide.

I snorted in annoyance but still got up from the chair and approached Lia.

After I got to her side she immediately grabbed my hand without shame. I chuckle at him reminding me of someone.

"Lo don't want me Tha?" Lia looked at me. I was confused. "Pangling you're the same me? As soon as I'm more beautiful isn't Kim?" Lia raised her eyebrows jail.

I'm still thinking. Holy hooch!

"Lee?"

Lia nodded. "During time I didn't see Kim Hyun So." Whispering Lia quietly did not want anyone to hear.

I stopped and hugged Lia tightly. I feel familiar with Lia's face. Turns out he was my little friend first.

"Lee A-Yeong? I finally met you." I said girang. "Eat her face is not foreign."

"Nice to know. Going to Korea doesn't say anything!" Said Lia hitting my arm slowly.

"My grandfather sent me a letter at that time."

"Let's not enough bangs!"

"Sori sori."

We sat on one of the empty benches in the cafeteria. The place makes me very uncomfortable. In the middle of the canteen made me the center of attention not to mention my very short skirt.

"Nih pack! Why wear a SOPA uniform? Can't afford school uniforms here." Said Lia throwing a jacket right on my face. Damn indeed.

I grinned and covered my thighs with the jacket Lia gave me. He knows that I am not comfortable in this uniform in Indonesia. It is different in Korea.

"About speaking. I made a uniform with Hana's sister doused in milk." I said while eating the fried rice that Lia had ordered.

"It's still evil, Grandma dropped by." Said Lia indifferently.

I chuckle I used to tell Lia that my sister Hana was bad. Before I was kicked out of Korea.

"Eh last year I went to Korea to plan to ngunjungin lo but lo-nya even busy filming."

I chuckled right one year ago there was someone looking for me on set. But because of my busy schedule so I can't see him. So that's Lia.

"Sori, my schedule was tight."

"Basically busy!"

I just smiled and went back to eating my fried rice. Lia was back chattering because I didn't see her that time.

"Trus lo is still an artist now?" Ask Lia after drinking her mango juice.

"Kalo said it's still an artist anyway. If not, neither. I've done drama plus big screen movies in Korea so I can relax here. If I was called for promotion, I would go back to Korea." I said while spooning the fried rice that was finished.

"How is your comeback?"

"Gue made a comeback 2 months ago. And now I'm vacuumed while in the music world."

I am an actress and singer in Korea. My face was also plastered everywhere not because of a criminal fugitive but because of advertisements and others. I am famous in Korea. I'm a solo singer on the rise. I chose vacuum and returned to Indonesia after consulting with the agency and they agreed. I will also return to Korea if there is a movie promotion call or gig at a prestigious event.

"I didn't think it was my best friend's famous artist."

"You should be grateful." I said. "But I'm afraid to see this as a gini."

Lia chuckles. "How do you not want people to pack a prestigious school uniform like gini. They must have thought it was Kim Hyun So."

"Kan emang is real." I threw my hair back. Snippy. "But it's still a good thing they don't know who I am."

"Because here is more bombing with BTS and EXO if solo singer kayak lo not so well regarded."

I grimaced.

"It's like I'm Lia." I grinned.
